about the job

The IT/OT Security Project Manager will lead the end-to-end planning, architectural alignment, and delivery of IT/OT identity demarcation projects. This role focuses specifically on defining, implementing, and managing clear identity boundaries and access control architectures between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) environments. Operating on a contractual basis, the Project Manager will oversee solution delivery, manage vendor Proof of Concepts (PoCs), ensure cross-functional alignment between engineering and IT teams, and drive projects to successful deployment within scope, schedule, and budget.

• Project Leadership & Delivery: Lead the overall planning, execution, monitoring, and closing of IT/OT identity demarcation and access control projects. Maintain accountability for project timelines, budgets, scope, and quality deliverables.

• Identity Demarcation Architecture & Execution: Drive the delivery of IT/OT identity segregation strategies, including Identity and Access Management (IAM), Privileged Access Management (PAM), directory services isolation, multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforcement at the IT/OT boundary, and role-based access control (RBAC) across Purdue Model levels.

• Vendor & PoC Management: Direct vendor evaluations, RFP processes, and end-to-end execution of Proof of Concepts (PoCs) for identity, network, endpoint, and application demarcation technologies in industrial environments.

• Risk Management & Governance: Identify, evaluate, and mitigate technical and operational risks associated with OT identity convergence and isolation. Balance operational availability (uptime) with strict cybersecurity controls.

• Regulatory Compliance & Standards: Ensure all architecture designs and deployments adhere to OT security standards (e.g., ISA/IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, NIS2, NIST CSF) and internal enterprise security architecture guidelines.

• Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary bridge between cross-functional teams, including enterprise IT, OT/plant engineering, site managers, cybersecurity leadership, and third-party implementation vendors.

• Change Management & Enablement: Lead organizational change initiatives required for new identity governance workflows, ensuring minimal disruption to plant operations and high adoption among operational teams.

• Project Documentation & Reporting: Maintain comprehensive project management collateral, including scope statements, project charters, risk registers, architecture blueprints, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and executive status dashboards.

• Technical Knowledge:

  • Deep understanding of IT/OT boundary architecture, Active Directory/Entra ID isolation patterns, jump hosts, secure remote access, and zero-trust principles applied to OT.

  • Familiarity with industrial frameworks and standards, particularly ISA/IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, and NIS2 compliance requirements.

• Soft Skills & Leadership:

  • Excellent stakeholder management skills with the ability to build trust across both corporate IT and plant floor engineering teams.

  • Strong risk mitigation, contract management, and vendor negotiation capabilities.

  • Experience navigating global, multi-cultural enterprise environments and managing organizational change.
